Improper brush fines dominate city of Corpus Christi's enforcement of local litter laws

TODD YATES/CALLER-TIMES FILE
A majority of the litter-related fines the city has issued — 1,131 — are for improper brush or bulky items. A $75 fine for those in violation is added to utility bills. It’s a $200 for fine for those found in violation after city operation hours.

CORPUS CHRISTI - City officials have issued more than 1,300 citations and fines for litter, illegal dumping and improper brush set-out this year, a stark contrast from comments that indicated the city had not made any litter enforcement efforts.
